Since 2010 we have held an annual Photographic Competition. However, lack of interest in 2016 meant that we rolled the few over to the following year so the last competition covered the years 2016/7.

In 2016/7 there were 31 entrants who submitted over 100 photographs. From these, a shortlist of 52 were selected and printed for display on the FSW Open Day on 10th September 2017 when the public were invited to participate in a secret ballot to select the winners. Over 70 visitors voted and the winners are:

First Prize - Iridescence by Philip Murray-Pearce

Second Prize - Peanut with his Chestnuts by Lisa Dervish

Third Prize - Male Roe Deer by Ernie Thomason

Cash
prizes were donated by an anonymous benefactor - to whom sincere thanks! (Many thanks to all the winners for donating a portion of their prize money to FSW.)

The 3 winners are shown here and all the other shortlisted photographs are shown in the gallery below. Also see below for winning and shortlisted photographs from past years.

Each entrant may submit up to 6 photographs taken in Selsdon Woods between 20th August 2017 and 19th August 2018. As usual the winners will be chosen by a secret ballot of the visitors to the FSW Open Day in September 2018. Winners receive cash prizes of £50 first, £20 second and £10 third.
